I'm not a singer or musician. I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket if my life depended on it, but I can't imagine life without music. I totally agree the message and the emotion in a song is the most important! Much more so than the "technique", as long as the artist totally commits to whatever technique or style they've chosen to use. And yes Layne's eyes were clearer here. His heroin addiction hadn't taken it's terrible toll yet. Such a shame, such a loss! Such a waste! At least his and the band's art lives on in recordings. They've influenced a lot of artists. It's really nice to see vocal professionals like you and others react honestly to artists outside the supposed mainstream of "proper" vocal technique without judgement regarding their chosen mode of expression. I learn a lot, which increases my enjoyment of multiple musical genres.
🥰
@@annavaskelainenHi , beautiful young woman! Do you remember Diana Ankudinova? Many new cool music since your last reaction to Diana! WINTER WITHOUT SNOW for example!ruclips.net/video/ilnBGRIyBUg/видео.htmlsi=FMS91XbfBSfzQP8I
You had me at hello.
I understand. I suffer from a chronic, degenerative neuromuscular disease that has had me in almost nonstop pain for the last 16 years of my life. It has taken away my career, my good looks, my outgoing personality, my friends, my independence, and my freedom to live live as I choose, on my own terms-something I vowed from CHILDHOOD I would never give up.
There I ONE reason I have not extinguished myself: I can still hear, and I can still pick up a guitar and play it with relative competence. (I have lost my ability to sing, however-with a voice that was compared to that of Jim Morrison by everyone from my high school girlfriends to local entertainment journalists.) The point is, while you cannot imagine life without music, I literally only exist because of my love for music. There are other things i appreciate in this vast, extraordinary cosmos, but music is what keeps my heart beating.
Music is my life, life is my music!!!
When Layne nods and smiles at someone in the crowd in the middle of the song, my heart breaks a little. He seems to be so happy and content being on stage doing what he loves... knowing what's ahead for him, watching him literally high on stage just to perform for the unplugged concert...laying dead in his house for nearly two weeks before anyone even checked on him... everything about it is so sad and pathetic...I miss this Layne so much...
Mannn. This shit was deep
There was nobody like Layne at his best. I went through a similar problem that he eventually succumbed to and to this day Don't Follow still fucks with me and I can't listen to it. There are only 2 songs that I've heard a million times that still give me goosebumps, this and Zombie by The Cranberries
His smile lit up a room. Still miss him every day.
He had nó idea just how much he meant to us.. truly missed every day 😇🙏❤️🙏❤️
When Layne nods well just say it happens when you're a heroin addict.
Such an amazing singer. His singing was haunting.
One of the greatest voices in rock/metal music gone way too soon. I miss him so much. Thank you Anna.
I think this is the first time I've heard Finnish spoken more than a few words. It actually have a very lovely sound.
i only can say this "Layne" is him, nobody can compare with his voice, he is was so unique and a wonderful guy... shame that drugs did all that to him... he died alone on his house in 2002... but his music will live FOREVER, Thx you Layne , for all!!!! RIP Legend
To me this is one of the rare times the live performance, IS BETTER THAN THE STUDIO 🎙 RECORDING 😊
It could be, but I prefer the studio version for the sole reason that on one of the “yeahs” Laynes voice cracks in a way which makes it sound like a guitar hitting a pinch harmonic, it’s so cool !
They were almost ALWAYS better live than the studio.. now THAT says something❤🙏!!!
@@Seannone-ya-vc7pl definitely 💯, I was lucky enough to see them 4 times, mid to late 90's
Most live performances are better in my opinion.
Layne ALWAYS sounded better live. He was the best of the best.
Woooo more Alice in Chains!! So good
Yaaass!
This lineup of Alice In Chains remains my favorite band of all time. A powerful song like this is a prime example of the haunting compositions they could craft during this era. Layne here is definitely so healthy and sharp and strong. This was before the struggle with substance abuse that he ultimately lost. But he was always a real star, even beyond any labels the press gave him or applied to his music. Even when caught up in his dark struggles, he could still shine so brightly.
Well said right there!
I moved to Seattle from Hawaii in 1989, my new friends asked me to go check out this band, called Alice in Chains. I thought what a weird name, and passed.
I kept being asked so I finally went. I was completely blown away. Live they were incredible.
Now, I feel fortunate to have been able to see them live and at their best.
I'm glad there are live videos to prove they were as great as I remembered.
I regret not getting to see them live. They are my 2nd favorite band and wish I could have caught a show but Layne was pretty deep into his addiction by the time I was old enough to go to a concert in the 90s
I moved to Seattle in 1990 from Maine. I went to this show and it was on Christmas Eve. The ticket was 5 dollars. I feel blessed to have experienced all the amazing music that was coming from Seattle.
@@maniac2079I wanted to get to this show, but was staying out at Ocean Shores, and thought the snow might have been too bad, major regret. I should have just went for it.. Seattle was so full of great music during this time.
I always thought his voice was very foreboding in this song. He paints a beautiful picture of pain with his voice and the black and white video is a perfect fit. Great reaction as always!
🥰
THIS was Layne at full strength. A powerhouse. Cool reaction, thanks.
You always hear about singers giving it their all, but Layne actually did give it his all. He had such a great balance of rawness and emotion and control...which all added up to beauty.
Layne is just the best. He had the most amazing, unique voice ❤ He is so missed and loved… gone too soon but never forgotten
I went to this show . It was on Christmas Eve . The ticket price was 5 dollars. Amazing concert !
Have any cool stories or memories from the show?
@@ChadH2023 I will never forget the incredible sound and energy of the band . The acoustics in the Moore Theater is amazing and Alice in Chains took full advantage of it . I am so thankful to have experienced the whole grunge music scene in the early 90s living in Seattle. I miss those days so much. Thank you for asking.
@@maniac2079 thanks for sharing. It had to be just amazing to be in the middle of the grunge era.
@@ChadH2023 your welcome. Are you a fan of other Seattle grunge bands ?
@@maniac2079 i am, for some reason most of Alice in Chains music slipped by me. So i recently discovered all of their music. I have been blown away. Discovered mad season too.
The one and only Layne Staley. Alice In Chains was one of the coolest bands of the early 90s. They were just amazing musicians that created the kind of music that continues to endure all these years later.
Layne's vocal here is superhuman.
The first time I saw them live was maybe a year or two after this, STILL IN HIS PRIME and on top of his game, HALLOWEEN HEADBANGERS BALL for MTV, OPENED for Ozzy on NO MORE TEARS, Layne was in a wheelchair and crutches BUT BLEW ME AWAY, THINK IT WAS 92
Nothing fake about Layne.He was the real deal whos personality matched his music.He was a true gift to the music world.
15 years of listening to this song i still get goosebumps every time
This entire show was incredible. Man in the box and bleed the freak are just as good.
How much power, how much strength and technique, Layne really was one of the best to ever walk this earthly soil.
Anna, I would like to see your analysis of Mark Lanegan's music, both in his solo career and in Screaming Trees.
The effortless power from his voice is amazing every single time I listen to it. Totally awesome
“It’s not meant to be conventionally beautiful, but it definitely was beautiful in it’s own way.”
Perfect description of grunge.
I LOVED watching you hear this for the first time. I got tears just watching your reaction. I've heard this hundreds of times or more and I still get cold chills.
I was lucky enough to see them at their 2nd to last show they played together.
This live version is perfection!!
"Lost inside my sick head. I live for you, but I'm not alive."
Great job Anna!!
I wouldn't have guessed that this song would get me so emotional! 🙈
Oh you saw their 2nd to last performance?! Wow. How was it?
I'm so glad to see you react to THIS, HE IS A "G.O.A.T!"
I saw Layne in a three piece suit at the start of their set on Lollapolooza in 93 and it was like 95 degrees that day! Needless to say he took the jacket tie vest and shirt off after playing Would the first song to start the show! Very charismatic singer and great stage presence! His voice very unique and an unbelievable range! RIP Layne!
I got caught in the biggest mosh pit I've ever seen in my life when AIC played Lallapalooza that year in LA (at Irwindale). Fishbone was pretty nuts (went on before them) but when they came out, the place became unhinged. I liked them on that tour but the Dirt tour that I saw them on earlier in the year was even better.
Layne was the best of his time. Maybe ever. So unique. When he and Jerry harmonized, it was bliss. Never knew how much they did that until the first time I saw them live. I was a jock, and my cohost and I were the first outside of Seattle to play AIC. Layne asked us if we thought they had what it took to make it. I almost fell over. 😳. They became my favorite band instantly when we got the Facelift LP. AIC and the band YES are the GOATs. ☮️❤️😎
This was Layne in his prime. This live version is better than the album version. His best live performance in my opinion.
I agree Anna, his artistic choices made this song almost an anthem for me toward the end. I saw them in 1991 and he was amazing. He did have a unique rasp didn't he? Fantastic reaction and analysis as always. 🤘❤️🤘
🥰
Rest In Peace to Layne Staley! Thank you for analyzing this amazing performance! ❤
Layne in his prime was a truly amazing thing.
Hey Anna. Always enjoy your breakdowns. You and another person on YT have a way of describing technicalities that make it easy for us amateurs to understand vocals a little better. This is coming from a guitarist that makes attempts at vocals while driving, then hears himself singing and decides to stick with guitar!! 🤣 Thanks for this.
I'm very happy to know you still enjoy my content James! 😊
Hahah awww.. What kind of songs do you like to sing then?
I will make an attempt at just about anything. That is my problem, I know my boundaries but I continue to shrug them off. Unfortunately, whoever is with me has to endure it with me. 🤣 All in fun, though. @@annavaskelainen
As for songs I like to sing.. it's a wide blanket.. I was a teen during the grunge breakout so Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Seven Mary Three, Soundgarden, Nirvana are always favorites. Bluesy soulful rock.. pretty much anything from Paul Rodgers (Free and Bad Company era), Allman Brothers band (One Way Out, Whipping Post).. and then there's just about anything from Maiden and their huge discography. (This is usually when I go out of my comfort zone) as most probably do! :D
Very happy to see people continuing to appreciate Alice in Chains and Layne all these years later. There were so many elite singers of the era, so much talent, and they all showcased emotion, vulnerability, and passion in a raw, unfiltered type of way. Even still there was something a bit different about Layne. Cornell and Weiland were maybe were more musical, melodic singers, Cobain and Vedder maybe a bit more dramatic in terms of communicating a range of emotions, but Layne was like a male Banshee, he was like a wailing spirit. Even in Mad Season, without the kinds of production effects they used in Alice in Chains he sounded like how you might imagine a ghost to sound. Love the man, love the band, and love that new people are getting introduced to one of the greatest rock acts to ever do it thanks to channels like this. 🤘✌️
It's an absolute shame that this voice and talent never reached its maximum potential
Anna great job with your reaction to the live performance of Love Hate love from Alice In Chains.
I love seeing 👀 your reaction/ emotion while watching this, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I'VE SEEN THIS, I ALWAYS GET EMOTIONAL, IT ALWAYS TOUCHES ME,PULKS ME IN, I've lived this song unfortunately, and it saved my life, and HELPED ME OUT ALOT!!!
His vocal tone and emotion is out of this world💗 Layne is definitely the best singer in rock history 👑 Btw loved all the vocal techniques that u explained here, good video!
An amazing singer...he made it look so easy.
The whole performance from the Live at the Moore show is perfection. You should listen to Mad Season also. Specifically River of Deceit or Wake Up.
Layne will forever be my favorite ♥
This whole performance is immaculate but after the solo as soon as layne starts gis yeeaaahhhh part i get goosebumps literally all over. It makes my hair stand on end and ive never felt that much power and emotion through anyone elses singing. Not even close Layne was the GOAT. R.I.P Layne Staley.
Thank you very much for this. I loved the way you just let yourself get blown away by this incredible performance. And of course then provide your analysis. But to see your face reacting to Layne masterful delivery of power and emotion was really good.
This performance affected me like very few others that I've experienced in my life (and I'm OLD! 😁) This whole band is just AMAZING and Layne's vocals are STUNNING...and, he MEANT what he said: "This is a song about PAIN"....and you feel EVERY BIT OF IT! Thanks for the reaction! ❤
Thank you for this reaction! 👍💙
Epic !
Love your reactions, Anna !
👍👍👍💕🇸🇪😎
I love Layne Staley,altso in Mad Season.
PLEASE more AIC! Continue with their Unplugged songs. I'm a new subscriber and am dying for you to do more AIC lol. "Nutshell", "Brother', "No Excuses"... just to start 😂❤
I hope to do another one real soon! They need some votes still though! 🙏
I just love watching you Layne was amazing
Excellent reaction, thank you!
*This is my song.* Totally. Better saying... this is the on and only song I do belong to. Heart and soul, struggles and pain. No song describes better than this does what I've been trough specially in the last 25 years, a half of my entire lifetime. I won't enter into the rabbit hole of the details of what is too much a personal story to share here for a couple of different reasons.
I can only say it perfectly describes how I'm torn apart deep within by that same exact feeling and emptions rollercoaster Layne brings me into every single time I've been listening to this song since I got the album with it. His loss added a further layer of grief to the many layers already present in me which this song describes so well. I had no experience with drugs so I cannot relate on that matter, but certainly I know that painful, lacerating, burying sorrow.
The loss of the woman I loved back then and still love today despite the shattering devastation the breakup from her brought into my life and kicked me in. Layne here painted the perfect picture of that mixed feeling I've been trough, that circular spinning sentiment of love and hate and love with all its darkest colours and shades.
Layne introduced this song as about pain and hell yeah he did perfectly depicted that pain. Whatever ours experiences are, doesn't matter how close or far, how similar r different they are, we all go through that kinda pain at least once in a lifetime.
That's what makes Love Hate Love universal. One of the greatest songs ever written, by the power of the music and the depth of the words, by the power of the words and the depth of the music. All delivered with an astonishing performance that cannot leave a human being indifferent, liking the genre or not. Whoever lived and loved and knows the pain living and loving can do to us and to our lives will relate to that cry of pain Layne Staley has shared with us. Whoever experienced pain, sorrow and went almost through the gate between life and afterlife does belong to this song, like a picture that, like in some tribal and ancestral cultures believed it could, stole our soul.
RIM Layne... Rest In Music as I'm used to saying. Will always be missed, even if I didn't give up listening such an eternal voice!
PS: I have a few words about this video reaction by the way. I can tell I didn't expect the Finnish speaking and when I was finally, and quite soon I'd say... just the time of clicking on subtitles mode, totally at my ease with that then I didn't expect the mix of Finnish and English which added a nuance, a colour I loved in this reaction which I particularly appreciated. You got a new subscriber, Anna, thanks so much for this reaction and analysis which told the other side, the most technical one, of Layne's greatness. I must sound like a fanboy, despite my 50, but I still consider Layne Style's voice one of the greatest ever, seriously among the very best of all times, from a technical and an expressive points of view.
My favorite reactor is there again. Yes 🥰
aww you!
I'm sure it's already been suggested, but Mad Season shows some of Layne's best stuff .... you should check it out.
You really should see Alice in Chains' live performance of Man in the Box for MTV. And the other one is Junkhead. Lots to analyze, incredible performances, both. I really liked your commentary, very nuanced and observant. Great vid!
Just became a fan of your channel, i love seeing your reactions to all my favorite bands growing up. Seeing the appreciation for the talent these guys have reminds me of when i first heard them and blown my mind away.
This is my favorite Alice In Chains song! I already feel that you and I have a similar connection in music even though I have only watched two of your reactions. Your descriptions are so on point and you have an interesting and incredible way of describing how the song truly makes you feel!!
There's an ABSOLUTE, that goes with ALL music-- when they sound better live than in the studio, it is a definite that the band, singer, are the real deal, and are Soo incredibly talented!!
Don't see this very often, throughout all the music we've seen and loved❤️🙏❤️🙏!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻. I really enjoy your reactions to these songs especially. You really get it, and that’s educational and impressive.
Probably the most interesting conversation passage in song I have ever heard was in Alice In Chains - Bleed The Freak (Live-Official video).
Def he was the best vocal in that era..
Chris Cornel and Maynard make that easily debatable.
This is the finest performance by Layne I have ever seen. I have watched it hundreds of times and it still blows my mind. Your reaction to this song was the best I have seen so far, from both a technical and an authentic emotional perspective. I am not a singer but have been into music my whole life. I named my cat Layne.
You need to watch this whole show ! I am pretty sure it is on RUclips and it is only 30 minutes long . But You will enjoy every second if you liked this . Thank you for doing this vid . It is a great live performance from a stellar band , And this was when they were just starting to get noticed from the Man in the Box song on MTV .
I really like/ enjoy your reaction and complimentary dialogue, all reactions i have watched are blown away by his vocal strength, etc but i see your "REALNESS" / GENUINE EMOTIONAL REACTION 😊
TY Anna, Looking forward to this 🙏🙏
🥰
Layne wrote this song along with Man in The Box.
Another song though Layne didn't write it is the Live At the Moore version of Bleed the Freak. Sonically he does things, makes sounds that are ethereal. I recommend that one next.
Then anything else from Live At The Moore.
I love your reactions and your analysis. You’re always on point and you pay attention to every detail. You can tell that you really enjoy each song and your understanding of their techniques is amazing!
Alice In Chains is my favorite band ever. They really get you in the feels and they’re a very emotional band. Anyway, i really suggest you do Bleed the Freak live from the same show. It’s an awesome performance and really showcases some more of his haunting vocals and range.
Beautiful reaction, Gorgeous Anna. Grazie
Grazie mille!
I really enjoy your reactions and analysis. I also love hearing you speak in your native language, which I don't speak, but find very relaxing to listen to. I am into the engineering and mixing side of sound and learn a lot from your videos. Thank You.
THE BEST... AiC. excellent breakdown.... one of my favorite all time bands ever
Best live performance ever!!!❤
Kiitos Anna !!! You - once more - made my day. And that of good friends here as well. Could be, should be and will be more. In the end, quality and kindness prevail 👏👏👏
😊
He got you flustered haha….great reaction!
🙈😂🙏🎵
Anna you should do some Type O Negative, Peter Steele is a really underrated metal vocalist and his range and style was phenomenal
❤
It's in my list, hope it'll get more votes! xx
Love your reactions! Greetings from México!
Happy to know you enjoy my content! 🥰 Greetings to Mexico!
Such a legend. One of my favorite voices ever.
Hello Anna. Wow....what a roller coaster of an emotional song!! Thank you very much for reacting to this one; as well as sharing your analysis. It is so sad to watch some of these incredible performances; and we know that the musicians were dealing with demons.
Anna I am in awe of the way you understand the nuances of this track and how you consume it in Finnish
RIP Layne. I hope you found peace brother. Missed beyond forever 🔥
Reminder activited, looking forward to it 😊👍 Besides, congrets to 6 million views 👏🥳👏
Yes Layne!!
Firstly, your English is awesome. Secondly, that was a very good review!
After this you simply must see Layne in Mad Season singing "River of Deceit"
Hi Anna, always enjoy your reactions, would really enjoy a new reaction to REN, your reaction to Hi Ren was beautiful in its vulnerability and openness. ❤️ from the sunny UK
Did like this song.
Had a hunch you would!
I've been missing out. This is a really cool channel! Let's Go!
Welcome!
GOAT
Interesting RUclips wormhole, but this is actually my first time seeing this performed live. Wowzers
We saw it first time together then!
Wowzers indeed!
Your reaction with those facial expressions and the glee in your eyes is mesmerizing. I saw Nirvana, I saw Soundgarden and I have seen Pearl Jam but my biggest concert regret from the 90’s is not seeing Alice In Chains.
It feels like he is almost crying at 8.22.
As if returning to his infant state being denied love.
Am very impressed with this song. Nutshell is another favourite but dont enjoy listening to his mtv unplugged songs as they're depressing for me even if they reflect honesty.
Great thoughtful comments, thank you.
Thats how i feel and understand love , how this song is , how your reaction, blush, tears , covering mouth, eyebrows up, everything. Glad to meet souls , who feel it the same way. Thank you!
Thank you for notice me. I wish you a great new year, much health, warmth and to stay special , as you are!
SEA OF SORROW, WHAT THE HELL HAVE I, I STAY AWAY, GRIND, MAN IN THE BOX LIVE FROM FACELIFT LIVE, and the official video, MAN IN THE BOX, OFFICIAL VIDEO for DOWN IN A HOLE, THEM BONES, ANGRY CHAIR, BROTHER, THE ALBUM SAP
Im a big hockey fan and cheer for the Avalanche which have several Finnish players. I love the sound of the Finnish language. There are lots of really good Alice in Chains songs out there but ill recommend listening to another song off Facelift album (which is where "Love Hate Love" comes from). Its called "I know Somethin (bout you)" and its extremely funky and so good
Hyvä video!
I love this band , and I have this whole performance on VHS since the 90s ! I have watched it over and over again . RIP Layne Staley and Mike Starr .
Also I love your accent . And my God , your face is hard to look away from . Very picturesque and beautiful . Forgive me for saying so . This is the first vid I have watched you do reacts to and it caught me off guard LOL ! Now I feel stupid .
Excelente reacción...siempre inspirada..bella, saludos desde chile
❤ Hei kaikki musiikin ystävät ❤
I have always found your channel fascinating. Your switching of language is really interesting choice which in some ways I am more engaged with paying attention due to subtitles. Your insights and analysis make it quite worth the effort! So often we kind of default into English to be heard on a platform like this, but I often wonder what is lost in terms of filtering ones thoughts into a second language in the moment. Great band, great song, and great performance. Earlier Layne you got to see more of the real guy before addiction took it's toll. By the time of doing the Unplugged performance a lot of his enthusiasm and vocal sound was lost. I saw them live twice, once in '93 and once around like '96 at one of their last shows he was not the same person.
Girl you are in ❤️ with all these grunge boys!
That deep haunting power ❤
thank you
Thanks for listening this was one of my favorite bands in my late teens and twenties
